Where to buy Reaper's "Razig Weapons" pack in the UK?
« on: January 05, 2017, 11:16:05 AM »
As per the topic title, I'm really struggling to find these sold anywhere in the UK, and I don't really want to pay £20-30 for a set from the US.  :?

I'd be looking to buy 2-3 of these, so any UK-based shops that sell them would (hopefully) be a much cheaper solution - especially as I only actually want the two swords and pistols sprues anyway. Thing is, whilst there are a few sites that sell Reaper stuff, I can't seem to find any that sell this set:



Any help would be gratefully received!  :)

Miniature Heroes has them listed. I've only ordered from there once, so not sure how quick they are.

It might be worth trying Leisure Games in north London. I popped in when I was down there last year; they had a lot of Reaper blisters, and I asked about some Bones stuff, as I was looking for mouslings for my daughter. They said that they could order in any Reaper stuff for customers when they placed their next Reaper order and would mail it out to customers who weren't in London. I've no idea how long the process would take, but it seemed a cost-efficient way of getting Reaper stuff.

Here:

http://miniature-heroes.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=487_497&products_id=23655

total 0 in stock - so might be able to find out when they next make an order?

Mainly because nothing else seems to come up currently via googlefoo...

Thanks chaps - getting specific Reaper stuff outside the US can be surprisingly hard!

Miniature Heroes sadly don't appear to have any in stock... And the last time I ordered from them, it took so long to arrive that I'd already arranged a refund and forgotten all about the order (so, maybe 9+ months late?).  :?

What I wanted these for was to convert some Warmachine Cryx Revenant Crew:




The poses and sculpts are very limited, and the weapons are beyond comically-sized (I don't mind oversized weapons normally, but these are far beyond that - the pic above really doesn't do them justice). As I have two units of these, I'd like to vary the models a bit more and replace a fair few swords with slightly smaller ones (I hesitate to describe them as "more realistic"!  lol).

So if the Razig Weapons are not available in the UK, does anybody know if there any other plastic or metal weapon sprues available that would suit that slightly odd fantasy-steampunk look please?

Leisure Games' site says four to five weeks for miniatures that they don't have in stock, which might be a bit long, but it might be worth calling them in case they're about to place an order. You never know - they might even have them in store (they had a large amount of random Reaper stuff when I was there in the summer).

Otherwise, what about the Frostrgrave cultist or gnoll weapons? You can buy individual sprues on ebay, and they have quite a lot of scimitary stuff - especially the cultists. They're certainly on the large side for human-sized figures (compared, say, to Perry weapons), but they're not as overwhelming as the ones on those piratical chaps.

Miniature Heroes next Reaper order is on January 10th, I would expect a four to six week turnaround.

As the owner, Tim, posts here as Bossco101, it might be worth sending him a PM to clarify things.

I've never had any issues ordering from them.  :)
